You will see the same effect on MicroSoft Domains with users using
roaming profiles. They leave one host with FF open and go to another,
log on and try, vainly, to start FF in the new session. I presume
this has to do with preventing destructive overwrites of the user's
profile but it is annoying. Not a Linux problem though.
